Courthouse not agree with that," Okey said bluntly. LETTING BIDS FOR the work, and then canceling out on some of the bids will cause the county to lose credibility with the contractors, Okey advised. “The bids will probably be submitted higher. That hasalways been our experience.” “What can we cut out?” Councilman Beck questioned. “Not very much,” Okey responded. “I feel we have excellent bids here.” Beck (hen asked why it was necessary for the county to be paying for the services of a construction manager. According to Okey’s figures, Crane will receive $49,298 from the project, an 8 per cent fee. OKEY’S FEE AS architect-engineer was listed as $21,512.82, while his efforts for construction observation tagged another $12,285 to the fee. With Crane and Okey’s fees, the county would pay just over SBB,(H>O for their professional services. Answering Beck’s earlier question, Okey said the construction manager would coordinate the entire project. "A general contractor does the same thing for 15 per cent at the minimum,” he explained. “I think 8 percent is very low," Okey added. “1 think that’s an exceptional fee," he said of Crane’s cut. "WHY IS HE BEING SO kind-hearted to Putnam County?” Councilman Waldron asked. “Because he's a very good friend of mine," Okey answered. “He lives in Spen cer and would not be far from the project. He’s also not super-busy right now. Part of it is a matter of the economy and part of it is because of the people he’s working with.” One spectator pointed to a possible con-

BUT OKEY POINTED out Crane’s company had the lowest bid on two areas. Those areas were for concrete work and rough carpentry. “He would see the work is done right and I would betaking sure of that too,” Okey assurred. Bids for the courthouse renovation were first let on .June 9. Of all the areas bid on bv 10 different companies, only three would have required the commissioners to rebid. After considerations, and recommendations from Okey and construction manager Crane, the commissioners gave approval to confirm three bids June 14. Successful bidders were from Myler Construction Co., Crawfordsville, demolition work, $31,382; A.A. Huber & Sons, Greencastle. mechanical work, $209,279; and Watson-Flagg Electric Co., Indianapolis, electrical work, $106,900. ALL THREE BIDS totalled $347,561 which would reduce the $386,136 CBF monies to $38,575. Extra bids, to have been awarded on July 6, would have exceeded county money available to pay for the work. State law requires the money to be on hand before contractual obligations are finalized. "The bottom line is that the time decisions were made on good common sense," Okey asserted. "We wanted to get the project done the most cost-effective way for the county.” Third floor renovation is not the only area the county will be facing as far as upkeep, he also advised those present. “We are having problems with the dome

Dear Abby Husband's hickeys may put his neck in noose DEAR ABBY: I’m another one who never thought I’d be writing to Dear Abby, but I’m too embarrassed about my problem to ask anyone else. I’ll start from the beginning: Dick and I got married when we were both 17, mainly because I was pregnant, but we also loved each other deeply. We’ve had our problems like most young marrieds, especially getting ourselves into deep financial trouble. This weekend Dick gave me a real shocker. Because of his job as a construction worker, he works 200 miles away and can come home only on weekends. Anyway, he came home with hickeys all over his neck and admitted he had committed adultery on several occasions because of his strong sexual desires, which I can attest to. He says these girls mean nothing to him and he loves me, but he gets so lonely and there is nothing to do but go to bars. That’s where he meets these easy girls. He says if I want to divorce him he will understand and won’t fight it. The fact is, I still love Dick. Besides, I have two preschool children and I’m four months’ pregnant. What should I do? I am a good Christian, but sometimes 1 feel like killing myself. UPSET AND DEPRESSED DEAR DEPRESSED: Both you and Dick were married before you were mature enough to handle that kind of commitment. If your marriage is to survive and you owe it to your children to give it your best effort you will need family counseling. If your church doesn’t provide it, try your local mental health association. Don’t hack off because of the money. You will he charged only what you can afford. And please remind Dick that bed-hopping with girls he picks up in bars is the way men get VI) and bring it home to their wives. * * * DEAR ABBY: Before I entered into my second marriage, I had a small dog. The dog is housebroken, does not get on the furniture, rarely barks and is in no way destructive. Now, after four years of marriage, my husband informed me that he has never liked dogs in the house, and he insists that the dog be put outside on a permanent basis. He issued an ultimatum either the dog goes or he does. Naturally, 1 am heartbroken over this. My husband gave no indication of his seemingly deep-rooted feelings prior to our marriage, or even during the time we have been married up to now. We’ve always taken the dog on trips whenever possible, and it was so well-behaved that one hardly knew a dog was around. I am wondering whether to let my marriage go down the drain over a dog, or if I have to give up my beloved pet. My husband was well aware that I had an “inside dog” when he married me. Please comment but don’t use mv name or city. IN THE DOGHOUSE DEAR IN: It strikes me as strange that your husband has lived uncomplainingly for four years with a dog in the house, and suddenly he’s giving you an ultimatum the dog or him. If you really care for each other, you will get counseling and resolve the real problem. I think your husband is using a four-legged animal as an excuse to take a two-legged walk. Do you hate to write letters because you don’t know what to say? Thank-you notes, sympathy letters, congratulations, how to decline and accept invitations and how to write an interesting letter are included in Abby’s booklet, “How to Write Letters for All Occasions.” Send S 2 and a long, stamped (37 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Abby, Letter Booklet, P.O. Box 38923, Hollywood, Calif. 90038.
on the roof and plumbing problems. When we would have gotten the (County) Court moved from downstairs, we would also need to look at remodeling to make use for that space." COMMISSIONER Walton later came to Okey’s defense, saying he recalled the architect had informed the board of the $630,000 figure for the entire project. "The heating and air conditioning were included in that figure.” Walton recalled. Although Walton said he would like to see the project completed, he did not want to see the county borrow money to have the job done. “I feel we should wait another year to see if interest on county money could accumulate for payment." Judge Gray, Judge Vaughn and Clerk Hammond also voiced support for Okey. noting he had worked fairly with the county officials in seeing all aspects of the project were laid out before officials. LATER, COUNCILMAN Chadd noted he was in favor of delaying the project for a year. “There are too many ifs in this project right now," he said. “But you know what it will cost now." Councilman Knights reasoned. "A year from now. you will not know . It could be more, or half this much." Following that statement. Knights made a motion for the county to initiate a loan His motion died due to a lack of a second. CHADI) THEN MADE a motion for the project to be delayed until Jan. 1. 1983 for further discussion due to financial conditions. His motion was seconded by Mann. Voting for that motion were Chadd. Mann. Evans. Beck and Waldron. Knights had left the meeting due to another com mitment prior to the vote.
